Zhang Yueling, known as Mestra Metal, was a renowned rockstar in Japan, but his career took an unexpected turn when an incident at Kings Entertainment led him to take a break. Seeking solace and anonymity, he returned to China, where he enrolled in a new school during the second quarter of the 11th grade.

Yue, as he preferred to be called in his civilian life, quickly gained popularity in his new school for his exceptional academic intelligence. However, rumors began circulating about his family's alleged involvement with a notorious gangster group, a truth that Yue had been trying to escape. In the prestigious halls of Tiong Se Academy, where societal expectations dictate destiny, Zhang Yueling, known as Yue, stands out as a seventeen-year-old with a genius mind and an icy demeanor. With a towering height of 186 cm, he is the son of a prominent gang leader, navigating a world where his lineage and intellect set him apart. Yue purposely maintains a facade of laziness and academic apathy, concealing his true abilities and intelligence. 

Enter Alexander Zhao, a brilliant and charming Chinese-American guy with a reputation for rich delinquency and hidden potential. At 190 cm, Alexander is a charismatic extrovert and a genius in his own right. Preferring to keep a low profile, Yue refrained from making friends until he encountered Alexander Zhao, a vibrant student who had recently transferred to the same school. Alex became Yue's classmate, desk mate, and dormmate, breaking through Yue's guarded exterior with his extroverted personality. Despite their shared prowess in combat, Yue and Alexander's initial meeting is marked by mutual disdain. However, as they unravel the mysteries of their pasts and navigate the challenges of a school obsessed with perfection, an unlikely bond forms between the two.

"Frigidly alluring" explores the complexities of friendship, trust, and the consequences of hiding one's true self. Yue's cold exterior and Alexander's extroverted charm create a dynamic that defies societal norms. As they face rivalries, societal expectations, and the shadows of their own secrets, they discover that true strength goes beyond appearances. The story delves into themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and the transformative power of genuine connection. Will Yue frosty exteriors thaw to reveal the warmth of genuine connection, or will the pressures of their world shatter the alliance they've forged?

Frigidly Alluring

The sunlight filtered through the dormitory window, gently rousing Yue from a deep slumber. Blinking away the remnants of sleep, he shot up in bed, a realization dawning upon him. Panic surged through him as he glanced at the clock, confirming his worst fear – he had overslept and missed the first day of classes at Tiong Se Academy.

In his haste to get ready, Yue noticed that Alexander was nowhere to be found. Instead, a surprise awaited him on the small table in their shared space – an array of snacks, drinks, and a note.

Curiosity mingled with apprehension as Yue picked up the note. Alexander's distinctive scrawl greeted him, the words written with a surprising warmth that contradicted the coldness that Yue had come to expect.

"I didn't wake you up because you might get angry. Instead, here are some snacks and drinks. I know you might hit me if I wake you up, but I'm still hot. Love, Alexander."

Yue's eyebrows furrowed at the unexpected mix of playfulness and consideration. He couldn't deny the sincerity beneath Alexander's words, though his own emotions remained guarded.

Intrigued and a bit bemused, Yue picked at the snacks and sipped on the drink. The room felt strangely quiet without the usual tension that accompanied their interactions. As he prepared for the afternoon classes, Yue couldn't shake the lingering impact of Alexander's gesture.

Later in the day, as the two found themselves in the same classroom, Alexander grinned as Yue entered, clearly having anticipated the delayed arrival.

"Rough morning, huh? Don't worry; I saved you a seat," Alexander teased, gesturing to the chair next to him.

Yue, maintaining his stoic expression, acknowledged the jest with a curt nod before taking the seat. The classmates around them exchanged glances, having witnessed the unusual camaraderie between the two.

As the class progressed, Alexander engaged in casual banter, attempting to break through Yue's icy exterior. He recounted anecdotes, shared jokes, and tried to draw Yue into conversation. Despite Yue's initial resistance, a subtle shift occurred – an acknowledgment of the efforts made by his persistently upbeat roommate.

In the midst of the classroom chatter, Yue found himself responding, the walls around him cracking ever so slightly. Alexander's audacity to challenge Yue's cold facade, combined with genuine warmth, opened a door to a realm of possibilities neither of them could have anticipated.
